Individuals who once actively promoted President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election have reversed their positions, now questioning his administration's actions. This transformation underscores evolving political dynamics in Kenya.
Pauline Njoroge: From Pro-Kenyatta Strategist to Critic ¶
Pauline Njoroge, a digital media strategist, initially supported Kenyatta's 2017 campaign and targeted opposition leader Raila Odinga. By 2018, she was seen associating with Kenyatta while raising concerns about alleged corruption within his government.
Dennis Itumbi: From Campaign Promoter to Ruto's Advocate ¶
Dennis Itumbi, known for live-streaming Kenyatta's 2017 rallies, later became a vocal critic of Odinga. By 2018, he shifted to representing Deputy President William Ruto on social media, rebranding his political stance.
Moses Kuria: From Election Mobilizer to Government Critic ¶
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria played a key role in Kenyatta's 2017 campaign, including organizing events that disrupted Odinga's 2018 swearing-in. By 2018, he began accusing the government of neglecting Central Kenya's needs.
The evolving positions of these figures reflect broader shifts in Kenya's political landscape, as former allies now challenge the administration they once supported.
